WHY CLASSICAL?
A Classical Education
We train our students to love God with their hearts, souls, and minds. Therefore, we equip our students with a Christ-centered curriculum framed in a biblical worldview and has produced some of history’s greatest minds and leaders: John Adams, William Shakespeare, Winston Churchill, C.S. Lewis, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein. These leaders and countless more were educated using the Trivium, which recognizes the three phases of learning: grammar, logic, and rhetoric. Applying this education model cultivates all learning modes for students and produces children who can speak, write, and reason well.
